going from medium auburn to light brown

my hair is currently a medium to semi dark auburn color. i really want to go light brown, but without having to bleach my hair. i know that color doesn't lift color, but i was wondering if maybe the feria hi lift browns might work? or even the garnier 100% color hi lift browns? 

My hair is a dark brown/auburn color too and I have tried everything and have had no luck except with bleaching to a yellow color and toning with a 6N Redkens EQ shade.  This seems to do the trick. 

I have tried the high lifts and only got orange.  Maybe if you try a high lift in a 9 or 10 shade but remember, if you have auburn that means red and you will go to orange.  I would try a 9 ash high lift and just maybe you can use that.  I don't remember if I tried that or not since I have had good luck with bleaching highlights. 

I am curious to see if you find something that works.  Post pics if you can.

 

good luck

Don't use a highlift color.  If your hair is already colored then remove that first with colorfix.  Next strand test Clairol Moonhaze with 20 vol.

Strand test first and if this doesn't work then you'll have to do as suggested and bleach to gold/yellow and then tone.  

Good luck!
